Many companies transitioned to work-from-home setups after the pandemic as they found it worked better for them. But with that came a complete change of office culture. 

Adapting from in-person to online meetings has been a significant change for many workers. 

Some have flourished in their circumstances, while others have just conformed. But even after so many years, some people still need help with online meeting resources such as Microsoft Teams. 

From the get-go, meeting participants have been briefed about online meeting etiquette because it has become a part of office culture. 

We all have had to adapt, but people still make mistakes; it's a natural part of life. 

A company highlighted a colleague's embarrassment when she forgot one of the cardinal rules during an online meeting: turning your camera off.
